It's a Book!

My short-story collection is now a real book. Really! It’s called “Laments.”

For those who have been following my blog for the past few months, you know I was a bit apprehensive to self-publish. After corresponding with successful Kentucky authors Kallypso Masters, Teresa Reasor and Devon Matthews and a few friends, I decided to take that big step, at least for me.

After six rewrites, I turned to an editor, Joan McKinney, to read and make necessary corrections and suggestions to the manuscript.

CreateSpace(paperback)Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about epublishing. And if you decide to read the book, please leave a comment/review at the site (and do that for other authors as well after you finish their books).
